Here are a few mock up photos with the Ram Air finished and we finally got a break in the weather here so I was able to get another coat of paint on her. Next will be the deacals then some clear to finish the body.

Cool Build !

Congrats on the award !

Ok I have finished up the Ram Air pan with paint and the foam so next I will tackle on detailing the carb set which I will attempt to add the fuel lines and paint.

Thank you Guido, David and Tom !

Thank you David & I'll look into these to see if they will work for me.

A small update. I have finished up the ram air pan with the exception of getting it painted and the foam that will seal it to the bottom of the hood. Im planning to go to Michael's & Joanna's this weekend to see if I can find something to replicate the foam.

Great Job !

Thank you Dann & JC ! and yes the rear tires came from Fireball and after looking at the pictures and examining the fitment on top of the carbs I noticed that the back of the belly pan was not to scale so I shorten the belly pan a bit. I will post pictures of the shorten pan later which now it looks much better.

Here is a small update on the Ram Air which I have the pan almost done. I have added aluminum rings on the bottom of the pan where it will sit on top of the carbs to give it some support and I have also added the wall around the perimeter so next will be the outer flange and then foam to seal the Ram Air on the under side of the hood.

I have finished up the exhaust system which is now painted except for the inside of the pipe tips. I have also started to scratch build the Ram Air system which will take a little time to engineer so I will be posting slowly on the progress of the Ram Air system.

Looking Good !

Gotta to love those street machines ! I really like how this build is coming along.

Awesome ! The colors fit it perfectly !

Thank you Adam !

Thank you Sonny !

I finally was able to get some bench time in recently so here is a small update. I really wasn't liking the way the exhaust was laid out past the mufflers so I removed the tail pipes and scratch built new ones which are now relocated but I still need to shorten them a bit then shoot the exhaust with some paint. I also have replaced the front and rear springs with red bead wire and now have the rear suspension components finished.

Awesome Job ! I have 66 on the bench myself.

Wow Bill this is awesome ! and what skills you have !

Tom thank you for the encouraging comments on this build ! and when I get finished fitting the suspension components and the assembly I will gladly shoot some pictures and explain to you how I modified the rear to get the M/T tires to fit.

Tim I actually sanded off the molded in seat back trim and then scribed where I had removed the molded in trim then I laid down and glued some round styrene to replicate the trim and then I laid down the chrome foil over the newly installed seat back trim. And Tim thank you for the kind comments it is greatly appreciated !

Awesome job Dennis !

Working on a 66 GTO myself and you just gotta love those GTO's ! Awesome build !

A few more of the interior with the side panels glued in and the dash finished. Next I will be getting the steering wheel detailed and the column attached to the dash. I have also started on scratch building the rear suspension springs since the kit supplied springs just look awful.

Dennis awesome clean builds !
